Post-Graduate Employment

Students graduating from a degree, diploma or certificate program of at least 8 months in length,  may apply for post-graduate work permit within 90 days of meeting program graduation requirements. For programs of less than two years, this work permit is issued for a period equal in length to the program of study.

If students graduate from a program of two years or more, the work permit is issued for a maximum of 3 years. So long as you hold a valid study permit and a valid off-campus permit, you are allowed to work during the 90 day period in which you intend to apply for a post-graduate work permit.

It is important to note that you can apply for a Canadian post-graduate work permit only once.

Application forms for all International Student work permits are available in the International Education office (Building E).
